CALENDAR 0R LMANAC.

SPECIFIGATIGN forming part of Letters Patent No. 584,437', dated June 15, 1897. Application filed January 13, 1897. Serial No. 619,112. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, t 71mg/ concern:

Be it known that I, STEFAN Wnei-IoRN, a subject of the liin g of Bavaria, and a resident of St. Petersburg, in the Empire of Russia,v have invented certain new and useful Im provements in Calendars or Almanacs, of which the following is an exact specication.

This invention refers to calendars or alma- .nacs of the kind in which there are as many superposed sheets or leaves as there are days in a year and in which the calendar or almanac is kept on date by removing or tearing off a sheet or leaf each day. lilly improvements in calendars or almanacs of said kind relate to providing each of said sheets or leaves with a laterally-projecting portion, then dividing these sheets or leaves into sets, arranging the sheets or leaves of each set in such a manner that all the laterally-projecting portions of them are visible and form two series extending along the two sides of the superposed sheets or leaves, and finally providing each of said portions with the same date and day as is on the sheet or leaf which the respective portion belongs to. There is thus to be seen in a calendar or almanac of my improved kind not only the sheet or leaf representing the respective day, b ut there are to be seen also the laterally-projecting portions of the sheets or leaves lying below. Owing to said port-ions bearing the same date as the sheets or leaves which they belong to, one is enabled to see said dates in spite of the sheets or leaves representing the preceding days or dates having not yet been torn off, and one may thus make preliminary notes for the said dates without lifting the sheets or leaves preceding them.

In order to make my invention more clear, I refer to the accompanyingdrawings,in which similar letters denote similar parts throughout the different views, and in which Figure l is a front view of my improved calendar or almanac. Fig. 2 is a similar view, the uppermost or front sheet or leaf of Fig. l being removed. Fig. 3 is a side view of the calendar or almanac. Fig. et is a top View of the same 5 and Fig. 5 shows the several sheets or leaves of a set, said sheets or leaves being drawn on a smaller scale.

In the form of construction shown each set consists of eight sheets or leaves c. There are thus eight lateral projections Z) in each set, four on either side. The position of the projections is different in the projections are to be seen when the sheets or leaves forming the set lie one above the other in proper manner. The sheet or leaf designated in Fig. 5 by l corresponds to the uppermost or sheet or leaf designated in Fig. 5 by 2 corresponds to the uppermost or front leaf of Fig. 2. The numbers (dates) appearing on the other sheets or leaves of Fig. 5 correspond to the other or projections of which bear dates.

The sheets or leaves a are held together by rings c,which in their turn are held byhooks said numbers oi' A lever or arm e, attached to the middle portion of said plate, forms at its free end an eye e for hanging the calendar or almanac to a Wall. The calendar or almanac may, howmore precisely, inclined position by turning the arm or lever e backward and downward, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 3. If desired, the calendar may be used in a horizonprovided.

Holding the sheets or leaves tog-ether by means of rings, such as c, and holding the rings by hooks, such as d, affords the ad van` tage of being able to move the permost sheet or front leaf upon the rearside of the whole block of the sheets afterI the block has been taken off the hooks d. The uppermost sheet or frontleaf is thus displaced being torn off said rings. The notes made on preceding days may thus be preserved, so as to allow of a subsequent examination, if necessary.

this invention,wl1at I desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is l. A calendar or almanac consisting' ofl superposed sheets or leaves representing each or leaves, having a laterally-projecting portion forming part of the sheet or leaf, and bearing the same date or day as said body portion; the lateral portions of the consecutive such a manner that all front leaf of Fig. l, and the 6o lowerleaves, Figs. l andi?, the

CZ, Figs. 3 and 4, secured to the back plate f. 7o

ever, be put upon a table in an upright or,

tal position, for which purpose the legs g are 8o respective upalong and turned over the rings c instead of 9o Having thus fully described the nature of 9 5 a day, the bodyportion of each of said sheets roo sheets or leaves a series or series along a side or the sides of the body portions, for the purpose as described.

2. A calendar or almanac consisting of superposed sheets or leaves representing each a day, the body portion of eaeh of said sheets or leaves, having a laterally-projecting portion forming part of the sheet or leaf, and bearing the same date or day as said body portion; the lateral portions of the consecutive sheets or leaves being so arranged as to form a series or series along a side or the sides of being so arranged as to form the body portions, a ring or rings holding the said sheets or leaves together, and a hook or hooks secured to the back plate of the calendar, said hook or hooks holding said ring or rings, for the purpose as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
